Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Solutions

We have the expertise and tools in FCC processes to advise and support our customers' unit engineers and licensors. As more and more FCC units are designed for maximum propylene production, our approach combines state-of-the-art technology with deep understanding so our customers can take full advantage of increased capacity. Whether our customers want to increase conversion or process heavier feeds in the face of regenerator temperature constraints, we are here to partner with them. Our customers trust us to solve a wide variety of problems, from reliability issues with reactors or feed nozzles, to unexpectedly poor performance on new units.

To meet our customers' needs, our experts fine-tune the unit configuration and mode of operation using smart feed characterization, our kinetic FCC model and evaluation of pilot plants and commercial performance. This process and our robust catalyst portfolio allow our customers to increase their unit operating window and achieve the flexibility to process heavier, less expensive feedstocks and maximize conversion. Our experience allows us to optimize a specific solution for each customer, working towards establishing long-term business partnerships with our customers.
